Génesis 26
La Biblia de las Américas
Dios renueva la promesa a Isaac
26 Y hubo hambre en la tierra(A), además del hambre anterior que había ocurrido durante los días de Abraham. Y se fue Isaac a Gerar, a Abimelec, rey de los filisteos(B). 2 Y se le apareció el Señor(C), y dijo: No desciendas a Egipto; quédate[a] en la tierra que yo te diré(D). 3 Reside en esta tierra(E) y yo estaré contigo y te bendeciré(F), porque a ti y a tu descendencia[b] daré todas estas tierras(G), y confirmaré contigo el juramento que juré a tu padre Abraham(H). 4 Y multiplicaré tu descendencia[c] como las estrellas del cielo, y daré a tu descendencia[d] todas estas tierras(I); y en tu simiente serán bendecidas[e] todas las naciones de la tierra(J), 5 porque Abraham me obedeció[f](K), y guardó mi ordenanza, mis mandamientos, mis estatutos y mis leyes.
Isaac engaña a Abimelec
6 Habitó, pues, Isaac en Gerar. 7 Y cuando los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron acerca de su mujer, él dijo: Es mi hermana(L); porque tenía temor(M) de decir: Es mi mujer. Porque pensaba: no sea que los hombres del lugar me maten por causa de Rebeca, pues es de hermosa apariencia(N). 8 Y sucedió que después de haber estado allí largo tiempo, Abimelec, rey de los filisteos, miró por una ventana, y he aquí, vio a Isaac acariciando a Rebeca su mujer. 9 Entonces Abimelec llamó a Isaac, y le dijo: He aquí ciertamente ella es tu mujer. ¿Cómo, pues, dijiste: «Es mi hermana»? E Isaac le respondió: Porque me dije: «No sea que yo muera por causa de ella». 10 Y Abimelec dijo: ¿Qué es esto que nos has hecho(O)? Porque alguno del pueblo fácilmente pudiera haberse acostado con tu mujer, y hubieras traído culpa sobre nosotros. 11 Y Abimelec ordenó a todo el pueblo, diciendo: El que toque a este hombre o a su mujer(P), de cierto morirá.
Bendición de Dios sobre Isaac
12 Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y cosechó[g] aquel año ciento por uno. Y el Señor lo bendijo(Q). 13 Y el hombre se enriqueció[h], y siguió engrandeciéndose hasta que llegó a ser muy poderoso[i](R); 14 pues tenía rebaños de ovejas y vacadas y mucha servidumbre(S), y los filisteos le tenían envidia. 15 Y todos los pozos que los siervos de su padre habían cavado en los días de Abraham su padre(T), los filisteos los cegaron llenándolos[j] de tierra. 16 Entonces Abimelec dijo a Isaac: Vete de aquí[k], porque tú eres mucho más poderoso que nosotros(U). 17 Isaac partió de allí, acampó en el valle[l] de Gerar y se estableció[m] allí.
18 Isaac volvió a cavar los pozos de agua que habían sido cavados[n] en los días de su padre Abraham, porque los filisteos los habían cegado después de la muerte de Abraham, y les puso los mismos nombres[o] que su padre les había puesto[p]. 19 Cuando los siervos de Isaac cavaron en el valle encontraron allí un pozo de aguas vivas. 20 Entonces riñeron los pastores de Gerar con los pastores de Isaac, diciendo: El agua es nuestra. Por eso él llamó al pozo Esek[q], porque habían reñido con él(V). 21 Cavaron otro pozo, y también riñeron por él; por eso lo llamó Sitna[r]. 22 Y se trasladó de allí y cavó otro pozo, y no riñeron por él; por eso lo llamó Rehobot[s], porque dijo: Al fin[t] el Señor ha hecho lugar[u] para nosotros(W), y prosperaremos en la tierra(X).
23 De allí subió a Beerseba(Y). 24 Y el Señor se le apareció aquella misma noche, y le dijo(Z):
Yo soy el Dios de tu padre Abraham(AA);
no temas, porque yo estoy contigo(AB).
Y te bendeciré y multiplicaré tu descendencia[v](AC),
por amor de mi siervo Abraham.
25 Y él construyó allí un altar e invocó el nombre del Señor(AD) y plantó allí su tienda; y allí abrieron los siervos de Isaac un pozo.
Pacto entre Isaac y Abimelec
26 Entonces Abimelec vino a él desde Gerar, con su consejero[w] Ahuzat y con Ficol, jefe de su ejército(AE). 27 Y les dijo Isaac: ¿Por qué habéis venido a mí, vosotros que me odiáis y me habéis echado de entre vosotros(AF)? 28 Y ellos respondieron: Vemos claramente que el Señor ha estado contigo(AG), así es que dijimos: «Haya ahora un juramento entre nosotros, entre tú y nosotros, y hagamos un pacto contigo, 29 de que no nos harás ningún mal, así como nosotros no te hemos tocado y[x] solo te hemos hecho bien, y te hemos despedido en paz. Tú eres ahora el bendito del Señor(AH)». 30 Entonces él les preparó un banquete, y comieron y bebieron(AI). 31 Y se levantaron muy de mañana y se hicieron mutuo juramento(AJ); entonces Isaac los despidió y ellos partieron de su lado en paz. 32 Y sucedió que aquel mismo día los siervos de Isaac llegaron y le informaron acerca del pozo que habían cavado, y le dijeron: Hemos hallado agua. 33 Y lo llamó Seba[y]; por eso el nombre de la ciudad es Beerseba[z](AK) hasta hoy.
34 Cuando Esaú tenía cuarenta años, se casó con[aa] Judit, hija de Beeri hitita, y con Basemat, hija de Elón hitita(AL); 35 y ellas hicieron la vida insoportable[ab] para Isaac y Rebeca(AM).

Genesis 26
Young's Literal Translation
26 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.
2 And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, `Go not down towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak unto thee,
3 sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee, for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father;
4 and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;
5 because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.'
6 And Isaac dwelleth in Gerar;
7 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith, `She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife -- lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is] of good appearance.'
8 And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with Rebekah his wife.
9 And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she [is] surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?' and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.'
10 And Abimelech saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'
11 and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, `He who cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.'
12 And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him;
13 and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming great, till that he hath been very great,
14 and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him,
15 and all the wells which his father's servants digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped them, and fill them with dust.
16 And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, `Go from us; for thou hast become much mightier than we;'
17 and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley of Gerar, and dwelleth there;
18 and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth to them names according to the names which his father called them.
19 And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a well of living water,
20 and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac, saying, `The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the well `Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him;
21 and they dig another well, and they strive also for it, and he calleth its name `Hatred.'
22 And he removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name Enlargements, and saith, `For -- now hath Jehovah given enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.'
23 And he goeth up from thence [to] Beer-Sheba,
24 and Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and saith, `I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy seed, because of Abraham My servant;'
25 and he buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there Isaac's servants dig a well.
26 And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phichol head of his host;
27 and Isaac saith unto them, `Wherefore have ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and ye send me away from you?'
28 And they say, `We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath been with thee, and we say, `Let there be, we pray thee, an oath between us, between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
29 do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace; thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.'
30 And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink,
31 and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another, and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace.
32 And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances of the well which they have digged, and say to him, `We have found water;'
33 and he calleth it Shebah, [oath,] therefore the name of the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath,] unto this day.
34 And Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter of Elon the Hittite,
35 and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Bereshis 26
Orthodox Jewish Bible
26 And there was a ra’av (famine) in ha’aretz, besides the ra’av harishon that was in the days of Avraham. And Yitzchak went unto Avimelech Melech Pelishtim (Philistines) unto Gerar.
2 And Hashem appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Mitzrayim; dwell in ha’aretz which I shall tell thee of;
3 Sojourn in ha’aretz hazot, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy zera, I will give all these lands, and I will perform the shevu’ah (oath) which I swore unto Avraham avichah;
4 And I will make thy zera to multiply as the kokhavim of Shomayim, and will give unto thy zera all these lands; and in thy zera shall kol Goyei Ha’Aretz be blessed;
5 Because Avraham obeyed My voice, and was shomer over My mishmeret (charge), My mitzvot, My chukkot, and My torot.
6 And Yitzchak dwelt in Gerar;
7 And the anshei hamakom asked him about his isha; and he said, She is my achot; for he feared to say, She is my isha; lest, said he, the anshei hamakom should kill me for Rivkah; because she was beautiful to look upon.
8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Avimelech Melech Pelishtim (Philistines) looked out at a chalon, and saw, and, hinei, Yitzchak metzachek (was caressing) Rivkah his isha.
9 And Avimelech called Yitzchak, and said, Hinei, of a surety she is thy isha; and why saidst thou, She is my achot? And Yitzchak said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her.
10 And Avimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have slept with thy isha, and thou shouldest have brought asham (guilt) upon us.
11 And Avimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his isha shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Yitzchak sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and Hashem blessed him.
13 And the man became very prosperous, and went forward, and grew until he became gadol me’od:
14 For he had possession of tzon, and possession of herds, and many avadim; and the Pelishtim envied him.
15 For all the wells which avdei aviv had dug in the days of Avraham aviv, the Pelishtim had stopped them up, and filled them with dirt.
16 And Avimelech said unto Yitzchak, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
17 And Yitzchak departed from there, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Yitzchak dug again the be’erot hamayim (wells of water), which they had dug in the days of Avraham aviv; for the Pelishtim had stopped them up after the mot Avraham; and he called their shemot after the shemot by which his av had called them.
19 And avdei Yitzchak dug in the valley, and found there a well of mayim chayyim.
20 And the herdmen of Gerar did quarrel with Yitzchak’s herdmen, saying, The mayim is ours; and he called the shem of the well Esek (Contention); because they disputed with him.
21 And they dug another be’er, and feuded over that also; and he called the shem of it Sitnah (Enmity).
22 And he moved away from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the shem of it Rechovot (Broad Places); and he said, For now Hashem hath made rachav (room) for us, and we shall be fruitful in ha’aretz.
23 And he went up from there to Beer-Sheva.
24 And Hashem appeared unto him balailah hahu, and said, I am Elohei Avraham avichah; fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy zera for the sake of Avdi Avraham (My Servant Abraham).
25 And he built a Mizbe’ach there, and called upon the Shem of Hashem, and pitched his ohel there: and there avdei Yitzchak dug a well.
26 Then Avimelech went to him from Gerar, and Achuzzat his adviser, and Phichol the sar tz’va of his.
27 And Yitzchak said unto them, Why come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that Hashem was with thee; and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us cut a brit (covenant) with thee;
29 That thou wilt do us no ra’ah, just as we have not touched thee, and just as we have done unto thee nothing but tov, and have sent thee away in shalom; thou art now the Beruch Hashem (the blessed of Hashem).
30 And he made them a mishteh (feast), and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up early in the boker, and swore one to another: and Yitzchak sent them away, and they departed from him in shalom.
32 And it came to pass the same day, that the avdei Yitzchak came, and told him concerning the be’er which they had dug, and said unto him, We have found mayim.
33 And he called it Shevah (Seven, Oath): therefore the shem of the Ir is Beer-Sheva unto this day.
34 And Esav was arba’im shanah when he took to wife Yehudit the bat Beeri the Chitti, and Basemat the bat Elon the Chitti:
35 and they were a morat ruach (grief of mind) unto Yitzchak and Rivkah.
